Revamped my engine bay a little bit.
Hey guys I recently was on a mission to clean up my engine bay a bit from when I first bought the car it needed a little TLC under the hood appearence wise. I added a few items and got rid of a few things but overall I think it is looking better. Please share your opinion. The first picture is how it was when I first bought it then below it shows how it came along.
When I first picked it up...
How it looks now..
Added the Stainless FAST hardware kit for the intake and the EGR plate from YoFAB
Re-painted the FAST letters on the intake that were faded with snap on tool box paint that came with my box haha. Looks good IMO
Added the FAST fuel gauge simply for looks, Ive always been a fan of the rail pressure gauges on the older muscle so I wanted to add it here..
And last picture of of the PCM cover from third shift studios. I also have a head plate coming from them but havent recieved it just yet.

Looks good, one more thing you could do is run the harness shown in the last pic under the fender to give it a cleaner look. You have to drill a hole in the fender well but im not sure of the exact size to fit the connectors thru. I think it is a pretty common mod and Im sure someone on here can advise you what size hole and best location. I can post a pic of how it looks after mod if your intrested

OP: Google "wire mod" write up or search it on here. Also, the minimum size is 3/4", but most go with 1.5" like I did. You'll want to purchase industrial grade velcro, some sort of wrapping for the wires(as they'll be exposed and only covered by a fender shield in the wheel well, and get a rubber grommet that will go on the hole that you drilled near the PCM. You'll have to relocate your grounds to underneath the battery also.

1.5" hole is what i went with as well. definitely cleans up the look of the car. if you get the courage and want to deal with splitting wires, you can also do a wire tuck on the other side, hide the hood latch cable and flip the fuse boxes so they are hidden as well. there are a few members on here that have everything hidden. looks amazing when it is done, but can make you nervous fairly quickly
